\fBgit secret add\fR \- tells \fBgit secret\fR which files hold secrets, and adds filepath(s) into \fB\.gitsecret/paths/mapping\.cfg\fR\. (It is not recommended to alter \fB\.gitsecret/paths/mapping\.cfg\fR manually\.)

The \fBadd\fR action will fail unless there are already users in \fBgit\-secret\fR\'s keyring\.
